by Alicat Scientific (hereinafter referred to as “Product”) shall be free from defects in materials and workmanship for the life
of the Products.
Under this warranty, the Product will be repaired or replaced at manufacturer’s option, without charge for parts or labor when
the Product is carried or shipped prepaid to the factory together with proof of purchase.
The foregoing shall constitute the exclusive and sole remedy in lieu of other remedies of the Buyer for any breach by Alicat
Scientific of this warranty to the maximum extent permitted by law.
This warranty does not apply to any Product which has not been installed or used in accordance with the Product operation
and installation specifications provided to Buyer verbally or in writing by Alicat Scientific for the proper and normal use of
the Product.
Buyer agrees hereunder that Alicat reserves the right to void any warranty, written or implied, if upon Alicat’s examination of
Product shall disclose to Alicat’s satisfaction that the Product failure was due solely, or in part, to accident, misuse, neglect,
abuse, alteration, improper installation, unauthorized repair or improper testing by Buyer or agent of Buyer.
Alicat Scientific shall not be liable under any circumstances for indirect, special, consequential, or incidental damages in
connection with, or arising out of, the sale, performance, or use of the Products covered by this warranty.
Alicat Scientific does not recommend, warrant or assume responsibility for the use of the Products in life support applications
or systems.
Alicat’s warranties as herein above set forth shall not be enlarged, diminished or affected by, and no obligation or liability
shall arise or grow out of Alicat’s rendering of technical advice in connection with Buyer’s order of the Products furnished
hereunder.
If Product becomes obsolete, Alicat Scientific, at its own discretion, reserves the right to repair the Product with available
replacement parts or upgrade the Product to a current, commercially available version of the original Product. Should
upgrading the Product be deemed necessary by Alicat, Buyer hereby agrees to pay an upgrade fee equal to seventy percent
of the retail value of the replacement Product. Alicat Scientific hereunder makes no claim that replacement Products will
look, function or operate in the same or similar manner as the original product.
When a Product is returned to Alicat Scientific for recalibration this service is considered normal preventative maintenance.
